(My Swedish is currently limited to things like crudely ordering generic items at a restaurant, apologies. I'm not the best at learning new languages but I'm slowly figuring it out!)

I'm so excited :3 I worked so hard to get into my first choice of university and they accepted me! There's still a lot of logistics that need done but I think I'm on track. I'm going back to school to be a game level designer and hopefully find work in Sweden after I graduate

This last Christmas/New Years I toured various towns I'd possibly go to for school. There's so much I was able to see and I loved all of it. From Stockholm to Luleå everywhere felt special <3

I want to explore and learn everything I can. I want to learn Swedish it's such a beautiful sounding language. I'm going to be living pretty far north and I'm legitimately thrilled about the winters there. I think I'm going to be really happy

Oh never heard of! Is it a company offering like internship? Where in Sweden will you go? :)

It's basically like a trade school if you're familiar with US schooling. I'm going to be in Boden. I really wanted to be in Stockholm but since I'm not Swedish or EU I have to pay for everything with savings. Going to be cutting it close as is, the Stockholm campus was too financially risky for me to apply for

Buy warm clothes, Boden is no joke.

I got to visit Luleå in early January, phone was saying it hit -15f/-25c. I suspect Boden is similar since they're pretty nearby? I loved being in that cold it made me happy. Had to buy better hat and gloves though my face felt like it was going to fall off
